00 Paperback Contemporary mathematics; 455/Israel mathematical conference proceedings QA331 These proceedings of the January 2006 conference include 31 papers covering a wide range of topics in the geometric theory of functions of one and several complex variables, including univalent functions, conformal and quasi-conformal mappings, minimal surfaces and dynamics in infinite-dimensional spaces along with other related subjects.
In the current model, dissolved organics are represented by an equivalent univalent component.
They cover basic properties, integral means and relationships between fractional Cauchy transforms and Hardy and Dirichlet spaces, radial and nontangential limits, multipliers, composition, univalent functions, and a characterization of Cauchy transforms, including one-to-one mapping between measures and functions, a key lemma for representation by a real measure, and sufficient conditions for representation of a Cauchy transform.
